"Ahhh, where am I?" asked Maddie as she opened her eyes and stretched as she yawned.
"Oh yeah we went camping" said Maddie to herself as she remembered what happened last night.
After a night of singing, dancing and eating, everyone went to sleep, Maddie and Annie were together in one tent, Lucinda and Lucas in another, Lisa and John in another, Bella and Evie in another, the together Kaylee and Noey together, Jacob slept alone in his tent and Matt and his brothers were in two tents.
"Hey Annie wake up" said Maddie
"It's morning" she added
"Ahh Good Morning Maddie" said Annie as she woke up
"So how was your first night in the wilderness?" asked Annie as she laughed
"Well it was good, I thought I would not be able to sleep on the hard ground, but the sleeping bag made it feel soft" laughed Maddie
"Haha I am glad that you enjoyed it" said Annie as she smiled
"Well I think we should get out of the tent now and go check if anyone else is awake" said Annie
"Yes I agree" said Maddie
Annie and Maddie stood up and tidied their tent and came out.
The Sun was shining brightly and the area was still as beautiful as ever, there seemed to be smoke coming from the middle of the camp, it was Lucinda appeared to be making Breakfast and Mrs. Grey was with her.
"Good Morning Aunt Luc, good Morning mom" said Annie
"Good Morning Aunt Luc and Aunt Lisa" said Maddie

"Oooh so what's for breakfast?" asked Maddie
"Well Pancakes, Toast or Cereal, whichever one you prefer" said Mrs. Grey
"Oooh then it's Pancakes for me then" said Annie
"Well then it's toast for me" said Maddie
"Why toast?" asked Annie
"I don't know I just feel like eating toast today" laughed Maddie
"Haha Okay" said Annie as she laughed.
"Hey Mom where is Dad?" asked Annie as she looked around in search of her dad but she could not find him.
"Ah well this Morning your Father woke up very early to go train with "The Men" " Said Mrs. Grey as she put air quotes when she said the men.
"Ahh okay, well Dad better be careful, Uncle Jake and Uncle Luke are Vampires remember" said Annie
"Ah nevermind your father Annie, he will be fine, You know that he doesn't have many friends so let him enjoy this Bro-ship of theirs" said Mrs. Grey as she laughed
"Okay True" said Annie as she laughed
"Haha same with Luke he rarely has friends that he trains with except for Jacob and that was before we moved" said Lucinda as she laughed
"Haha Men" laughed Mrs. Grey
"Yes they really are something" laughed Lucinda
"Good Morning Everyone" said Matt as he came out of his tent and walked over to where the women were.
"Ahh Good Morning Matt" they replied
"So what is it about men that you are talking about?" asked Matt suspiciously
"Well Nothing much, just how they love to train and train" said Lucinda
"Haha Okay Mom" said Matt
"Hellooooo Everyone" said Evie as Ellie, Cellie, Kaylee and Bella were right behind her.

"Good Morning Everyone" said Lucas as Jacob and John were behind him
Lucas bent down to Kiss Lucy on the cheek.
"Good Morning" said Everyone
"Good Morning Dad" said Annie
"Good Morning Annie" said Mr. Grey he was drenched in sweat.
"How was your training?" asked Lucinda
"Well it was good, it felt so nice to train with some other men for a change" said Lucas
"Haha Okay, so what do you men want for breakfast?" asked Lucinda
"Well I will have cereal, it's the most healthy option" said Jake
"Of course Jake" said Lucinda

"Same here" said Lucas
"Hehe Pancake gang" said Evie
"Haha yes yes" said Annie as she and Evie high fived.
"No Fair, Toast gang for life" said Maddie and Bella agreed with her, and everyone started laughing.
"Well we have to get going now" said Lucinda after everyone had finished eating.
"Aww can't we stay longer?? This place is so relaxing and Happy" said Evie and the other children agreed with her.
"Okay okay, we can come back later, but for now we have to go back" said Lucinda
"Okay Mom" "Okay Aunt" they said
"Good Now let's start packing" said Lucinda
After everyone had finished packing it was time to go back to the Castle and as the Carriage drove away from the Camp Ground all the children sighed they wanted to stay longer, but for some reason they were not allowed to, it was weird and suspicious.
After some time they finally arrived back at the Castle and Maddie had to say that she felt more relaxed after that trip.
Everyone made their way to their rooms and they took a shower and changed their clothes.
Meanwhile in the Lounge, All the children had taken a shower and they had settled back in then Bella came into the room.
"Ahh Matt, remember the present I promised you?" asked Bella as she smiled
"Yes Aunt" said Matt
"Well I have it now" said Bella grinned and handed Matt a wrapped rectangular object.
"What is it?" asked Matt as he looked at the object
"Well open it" said Bella cheerfully
Matt removed the Red wrapping on the present, it was a picture frame. and in a picture a man and a woman were standing together and there was a baby boy in their Middle the woman was smiling while the man's face remained neutral.
Matt looked closer at the picture and he noticed that the woman was Bella and the Man was none other than Jacob.
"Ahh Aunt, that's you and Uncle Jake... and is that baby me?" asked Matt
"Haha yes yes, That's Me. your Uncle and you as a baby" said Bella as she smiled.
"Ahh what let me see let me see" said Evie as she stood up and took the picture from Matt's hand without asking.
"Well you were about 3 months old, Your Mom and Dad were tired and decided to take a break and hence they needed a babysitter and of course I was the first one to volunteer hehe, and Jake came along in the name of protecting you from me" said Bella as she smiled and remembered fond memories.
"By the time your parents came back, everything was fineee, I do not know why they doubted my babysitting skills?? and so Lucy took this picture, and as you can see I was all ready and I posed, meanwhile your Poker faced Uncle refused to smile" said Bella as she laughed
"Ahh Thank you Aunt, I really Love your gift" said Matt as he smiled sincerely.
"Haha Your welcome my beloved Nephew. This picture was taken so long ago, that Lucy might have forgotten that is even existed" said Bella as she smiled.
"Ahh Auntt, you look so pretty and like you never aged a day" said Evie
"Ahh Thank you my Evie, hehe" said Bella as she winked.
